You get vids of any of the new songs?
nah. Can give you the run down though. Mile High - let the Travis vocals play almost acapella. Everyone was obvs hyped for that song. The sound was a bIt off though. Could barely here the defining riff. Either way, everyone loved singing along.
Barefoot - skipped her first verse and went into his, sang the chorus on his own, played her second verse through the speakers. Stretched out the end of the song by maybe 25-30 seconds and made it way more rowdy than it is on record.
Wheres the Catch - played the Andre verse through the speaker. The end of the song where hes mixing the "eva eva everything go goes" was stretched out live. Great ending to the song as youd prob expect.
Power Trip - to come clean, I think this song is blah. One of my bottom 3 on the new album. I went to get a beer as soon as it started. It sounded a bit better than the album version, but I just dont like the song and am biased.

When I say "stretched" for Catch and Barefoot, I mean that he was jamming out and making it an intense finish in a normal JB style like the end of Life Round Here, Wilhelms, Modern soul, etc

Ended up making it for the second half of Kelsey Lu, 20 mins of Herbie Hancock, maybe 45 mins of Laurel Halo, James Blake, Rae and Ghost (I think I somehow caught all of this), small bit of SZA, Yaeji, 1.5 hours of James Murphy.
Better than night 1. Will probably end up being one of my best nights all year.
Going for Tim Hecker, Godspeed, David August, a bit of Asap, DJ Koze tonight.
Rae and Ghost were electric. This festival is the best.
did they start with Knuckleheads? I came in after JB andnthat was the first song I heard.
I’m not positive, but it was definitely either that or Knowledge God. I was towards the back at first waiting for my friends when the herd from JB came, then I moved up.
I’m also gonna be at mainframe most of the night, I’ll probably have camo shorts on and a blue shirt that says “make it gain”
Love this festival and wish it long-lasting success, but dropping $30 a day to keep me and my SO semi-hydrated is some real bullshit. I get that this is a night festival so they aren’t that worried about kids passing out from heat stroke, but come on. The least they can do is let us bring in a sealed bottle.
Anyway, heading out now. Look for a dude in a red soccer jersey and a Strokes hat. A bottle of Evian on me.
You can blame diva Badu, not ASAPs fault. She was 30min late and pushed him back. He had a complex production that was already going to take forever to change over.

Trust me, I've bitched about this every single year to Julie. While I am in love with everything else about the festival, the water pricing is just outrageous.
What was it this year? I honestly didnt look.
It seems like such a liability/insurance risk with kids who are under the influence and dehydrated. But I keep hearing from people that live here who say thats just how Miami is, the city's alcohol and water is expensive everywhere.
For what its worth, there was a water station where the Heinken room was.
And they did throw out a shit ton of cases of water into the crowd before ASAP came out.
Maybe I met some of you guys there? I was with my twin brother on the rail for Tim Hecker and GSY! BE...Holy shit those shows were so fucking good. Best sets i've seen all year right now. That Khrunbin set was amazing too! Those guys are sooooo talented. iii Points was a blast on Sunday!

Just completed the 5 hour car ride back. Really cool festival. Was fun to expand my horizons that much over the course of 3 days. Was able to catch Hecker next to Garageland but our time together was mainly consumed by silently watching that show haha. Next year if the lineup stays at a similar quality level we shall cross paths again.
I said it after night 1, but I just want to say again how much I appreciate the environment that the organizers have created and that the festival is at night.
All of the venues are uniquely decorated. Crane holding a disco ball over the mind melt. Plants hanging from roof at Isotropic. Boiler Room had some freaky hanging eyeball decorations I think. Of course, having a DJ set up in the middle of a skate rink is dope. Multiple stages being indoors is nice.
Most of the art was worth stopping for. Star of the show being Aether / Max Cooper which I checked out after Garageland's rec. The wall on the outside of the Boiler Room was cool.
Most of the sponsors positively and somewhat organically contributed to the experience (though I get the feeling thats easier to accomplish for a festival than it is for a NFL team). I noted the Blu activation earlier in the thread, which I stand behind loving. I liked what Stillhouse was doing in the Skate Space. I didn't have a problem with Heineken... if Max Cooper was ok with them, so was I. Trulieve made sense. Somehow I avoided Deep Eddy all weekend, so i didnt get a chance to look at what they were doing or their menus.
Food options worked for me. And by that I mean I ate 5 poke bowls over the course of three nights - not joking. I may have gained 10 pounds this weekend.
The water thing was stupid. I didnt drink any water yesterday. Was willing to die to send a message for the cause.
I came across a handful of sound issues throughout the weekend at the Mind Melt and Mainframe. Hard for me to know who to blame between the band and the fest. DJ Koze was the worst case I saw. Some cases I could be exaggerating though. I looked back on a Beach House video today and could hear the guitar I thought was shotty pretty easily. Maybe I was delusional. Another random example: I was pretty close for JB and I didn't quite feel Retrograde in my chest. Lol. At the very least, I will say that the Mind Melt is not going to give you that What Stage quality.
Yaeji lip syncing was offputting, but the show was fun regardless. Does that count as a live set? Lol idk.
Live Shows:
1. James Blake 2. Raekwon and Ghostface Killah 3. Godspeed You! Black Emporer 4. David August 5. Jpegmafia 6. Kelsey Lu (on my radar as someone with big time potential to blow up) 7. Beach House 8. Channel Tres 9. Tim Hecker 10. Herbie Hancock (left too early)
DJ Sets
1. Laurel Halo 2. DJ Seinfeld 3. James Murphy
Also saw True Vine, Durante, Jacques Greene, DJ Koze, Peggy Gou and a couple others that are slipping my mind.
Thought the scheduling at the Main Frame on Sunday was awesome.
It was extremely easy to get from stage to stage AND there was no sound bleed issues. The best of both worlds. Unlike something like Roo where you absolutely must project / plan for travel time between stages, here it was like "oh theres still 20 minutes until the next show? Ill go head to the Boiler Room or Isotropic and dance for 10-15 minutes then." It made it to where I caught bits and pieces of more shows than I expected on top of what I had scheduled.
All that said, I will be back next year as long as there are a couple major draws again like Godspeed, Rae and Ghost, James Blake and Beach House in addition to what I trust will always be a great DJ Lineup.
Hoping maybe a name or two from the below make it onto next years lineup.
Tame Impala / Aphex Twin / Anderson Paak / Sigur Ros Run the Jewels / Cut Copy / Brockhampton Grizzly Bear / Kamasi Washington
